Transgender women from Thailand are going viral for being able to do it all!
This month, Parida Kerayuphan and Kantong Passarapon gained fans after posting about their military draft experiences. The stark difference of the beautiful feminine women holding military-related papers for those born male surprised many.
Though Kantong looks comfortable and lovely in her everyday attire…
…she is also ready to serve her country. She captioned her post with, “National Servant Report 🇹🇭 2567” to show that she had already completed the enlistment process.
The same could be said for campus beauty Parida who is famous in Bangkok’s Sripatum University for her stunning visuals.
She, too, proudly showed off her official papers to the camera.
Thai law mandates that every Thai male enlists in the military reserve force at 18 years old. Once they reach 21, they enter a lottery system where drawing a red card leads to mandatory military service while black means means they are exempted. This lottery occurs every April and is a long-standing tradition in Thailand.
Transgender women, however, can be automatically exempted if they provide proof of gender reassignment surgery.
Though both Parida and Kantong are expected to be eligible for this, they are still required to report to the conscription unit or risk facing jail time.
